Iono, meng... Elote is pretty fucking great.

That looks good and I'm a picky eater but I would try that.

News - Deebo has broken foot, sounds like a jones fracture. Out a couple months, likely to miss games.

 

[molsaniceman]

Deebo Samuel suffered a broken left foot during a workout with teammates Tuesday and will be sidelined 3-4 months.
Dr. Robert Anderson is performing surgery Thursday to repair the dreaded Jones fracture. Jones fractures can cause all sorts of complications moving forward, but hopefully Samuel's recovery goes off without a hitch. Still, the 12-16 weeks timetable likely means a trip to the reserve/PUP list to start the season for Samuel. That would cost him at least the first six weeks of the season should the 2020 schedule go on as planned. Samuel had become the 49ers' No. 1 receiver as a rookie. His absence leaves first-round rookie Brandon Aiyuk, Kendrick Bourne, 2019 third-rounder Jalen Hurd, doghoused Dante Pettis, Richie James, and Trent Taylor as the Niners' top wideouts. Perhaps they'll make a move for someone. Samuel's run-after-catch skills will be sorely missed.

Free agent WR Josh Gordon applied for reinstatement Wednesday.
An all too familiar situation for Gordon. He's reportedly been training in Seattle in hopes of being reinstated in time for training camp. The lax nature of the new CBA regarding marijuana could be huge for Gordon, who is certainly running out of chances with NFL teams. Still just 29, Gordon should be able to land another job, perhaps back with the Seahawks.

Woohoo! They ruined this guys career. He used to take bong rips and make sweet catches all game. Nothing wrong with that!

Who else has Jalen Hurd, for the win?

Let's not forget Bourne. Or even Pettis, if he EVER gets out of the doghouse. I wonder what he did to deserve that banishment?

New rookie should take over for Manny Sanders. Hurd should be next in line for the Deebo role, provided he is healthy. But keep in mind, Deebo isn't done for the year. RB seems oddly weak heading into the season and now Deebo is hurt. = Kittle is on a fast track to having an all-time season.

just added Bourne where I could in dynasty leagues

I'm not a buyer on Auyik. Can't really describe it, but he just doesn't look like a starting quality NFL level WR. Could be way off base, but he sure seems like bust city to me.
Bourne is a nice complimentary WR, he ain't nothing more. And I also have no clue WTF Pettis did to earn his doghouse, but, I honestly wasnt impressed with him when he wasnt in the doghouse, either.

Hurd just has that it factor, he blows the eye test clean out of the water.

I'd agree Kittle is setup for a big year, that and the way they run, even if they do have a bona fide #1, he's gonna be a hit or miss fantasy play. But laying bets on that one that is worth a flyer, my chips are on Hurd, with or without Deebo

You guys sure seem to be tripping over yourselves to grab a SF WR.
Run-first team, with a QB who attempted the 19th-least amount of passes.
If there is a bright side, only 11 QB threw for more yards than Jimmy G.
And only 4 QB had more passing TD.

More representative of the current "lack of" news cycle than truly getting amped about a SF WR.

But, if (when) Gurley goes down, I'm sure there will be much more conversation about Ito v Ollison v B. Hill, even though Atlanta was the most pass happy offense (attempts wise).
Just the nature of the beast. A "#1", regardless of team, offense, or position, goes down, the replacement is gonna be at least somewhat fantasy relevant.

But somehow both Sanders and Deebo were fantasy relevant last year. Now one is gone and the other broke his foot. Someone is gonna catch passes, and Bourne/Taylor/Pettis are literally free right now in lots of leagues

All of those San Francisco wide receivers just seem like guys that are going to score two touchdown in one game when they are on your bench because you had no idea whether to play them or not, and then you put that guy in your lineup and he has two catches for 23 yards the game you actually play him. I just don't see it ever being a situation that you feel confident enough to start one of those guys over anybody else unless you are really hurting at wide receiver.

Sure but when looking for depth you aim for players who potentially have opportunities. Doubt anyone would want them for starters other then Deebo prior to his injury.

Brandon Aiyuk time!

Any updates on his recovery from surgery?

It's funny how all the college football fans only like the rookie WRs that had great college QBs. Lol.

Last I read surgery went well (insane how fast that happens these days), but that he's looking at a minimum 10-12wk rehab once he recovers and can get back on his feet. If he comes back too soon, he has like a 25% chance of breaking it again, so I imagine SF will be cautious.

PUP is still an option, but far from a certain thing.

This^

It's not about wanting to put any of those guys in your starting lineup unless the targets are there and you're thin at WR. All about return on investment. When investment is next to nothing, worth an end of bench spot in june

So by December the Niners will have both these guys back in action. Quite the talent add midseason.
